"Because he represents our Qing Dynasty, the king of Vietnam naturally feels bold. www.biquge.info"The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "This Vietnamese king is not stupid, he knows that the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful. ”

"Yes, the French consul has refused to meet with Ege, but Ege still went to Saigon several times to reprimand the French who could be seen, and the Vietnamese revered Ege very much, and whenever he traveled to Saigon, he must have been called to support him."

"Isn't that the emperor of Vietnam?" The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "It's much more comfortable than in such a quiet place as the Hanlin Courtyard." ”

"Let's wait and see," the Empress Dowager Cixi spread out the fold in her hand, "Vietnam's affairs are not in a hurry, they can handle it themselves, and such a small country's affairs are worth worrying about him every day?" Next, we have to take a look at the domestic affairs first, and call the two kings. ”

The two were originally close ministers, and in addition to their own errands, they also had to prepare for the Queen Mother's consultation from time to time, so they waited in the latter carriage, and when they heard Li Lianying's message, they went to the Queen Mother's carriage together, "This is the excerpt sent by Zai Ling, take a look." ”

After reading it, Gao Xinkui was silent and handed it to Wang Kaiyun, Wang Kaiyun looked at it and frowned slightly, "The decreasing title of the clan seems to be a good thing, there is less of the title of 1 inheritance and 1 replacement, but the original title is reduced from the eldest son to the rest of the heirs, in this way, there will be more money." Wang Kaiyun said, "The pressure on the sect's side has been reduced, but the household department is going to fight with the Ministry of Rites again." ”

Zai Ling is an official of the Ministry of Rites, and the Zongren Mansion is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Kaiyun means that this plan will inevitably affect the distribution of the tax money of the Ministry of Households, "In addition, after many years of title downgrading, if it is a general, these people will make trouble again." ”

Downgraded hereditary, that is, each succession is downgraded one level, but downgraded several times (the prince is reduced to the prince of the town, the prince of the county is reduced to the auxiliary prince, and the bailer is reduced to the prince of the town of the eighth point. Beizi was reduced to no eight-point auxiliary state duke, Zhen Guo Gong was reduced to Zhen Guo general, and auxiliary Guo Gong was reduced to auxiliary general) after it was no longer surrendered, and this lord was handed down.

"And this En Lieutenant. Although it is only forty-five taels of silver a year, this money is enough for a year's expenses in a small place," Gao Xinkui replied, "This place will also be abolished." But there is no measure to replace it, which ......"

"In addition, the most important thing is the Eight Banners Lu Rice, which is a big head here," Wang Kaiyun shook his head, "The plan made by Zai Ling and others is good, and the Eight Banners Lu Rice will be canceled after thirty years, so that there is a buffer, but in the end it is still not enough." Thirty years from now, who can guarantee that time. Or is it the Queen Mother? If the rulers abolished this matter in order to buy people's hearts, wouldn't it be in vain! ”

"I thought about it, these things always don't work, so I reprimanded him and told him to do it again, I have a way in my heart, I want to discuss with you." The Empress Dowager Cixi said a few words, and the eyes of the two people suddenly lit up, "If that's the case." That's great, but I'm afraid," Gao Xinkui said, "and it's the same as before." raised idlers to eat for nothing and did not work. ”

"This is also a helpless thing, everything is to take your time, but time is not waiting, if it drags on, the days go by quickly, I am afraid it will not be long. Another year has passed," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, "do you think it is feasible?" ”

"It's feasible, it's feasible, but I'm afraid that the plate of the Internal Affairs Office is not big enough to take it."

"If it's feasible, then try it slowly, pick a few Niu Lu or a few leaders to try, first and then later, and the people behind the example will naturally follow," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "The plate is not big enough, so it can only be eaten by one family." ”

"Whoever has the seventh master in charge, there are fewer people who jump out, but there is one more thing, such a big thing," Wang Kaiyun said, "Without the support of the Military Aircraft Department, it will never be possible, and the king of the council has not spoken yet, either he has doubts about this matter, or he is opposed and is just silent for the time being." ”

"The king of the council ......" the Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a while and said with a smile, "The king of the council is a person who is very sorry, and he is afraid of being infamous so he did not express his position, but he still sees it clearly, as long as the plan is done, he will definitely support it." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi said quite confidently, Wang Kaiyun nodded, "It's just that the crowd has already made trouble once in the old years, and Cheng'en Gong has also been beaten, and now if you want to start it again, you must always be foolproof." ”

Prince Gong returned to Beijing earlier than the Empress Dowager Cixi's imperial car, and this time he had already returned to Shichahai's home, and just sat down to drink a sip of hot tea, the housekeeper came to say: "Uncle Rui is here." ”

Prince Gong frowned, "What is he here for?" Don't have any money? "Uncle Rui in the housekeeper's mouth is Ruibao, the nephew of the Fujin Guerjia clan, Gui Liang's sons are all old, and the youngest daughter was pointed to Prince Gong, so the nephew of the Guerjia clan is only a few years younger than her, Ruibao is idle all day long, and there is a title of En Cavalry Lieutenant, which is still the grandfather Gui Liang when the British and French forces invaded, assisted Prince Gong and the Queen Mother to stabilize the situation, Su Ri just mixed food and drink, went to brothels and smoked big cigarettes, is a first-class Eight Banners bastard children, but anyone who comes to Prince Gong's mansion, They all came to ask the Fujin Guerjia clan for money, and they had to deal with one or two because of the face of their relatives, but now they are used to it, and they will come to the door at two ends in three days.

"It's the sun coming out of the west today, I heard that Fujin is not in good health these days, and I don't know where to go there to exchange a basket of pea seedlings, and I want to give Fujin a taste."

"Hmph," Prince Gong snorted, "the night owl enters the house, there is no good news, I'll go and see." ”

He got up and walked to the courtyard of the Fujin Guerjia clan, entered the east chamber, and saw a man in a half-new cotton cloth sitting on a stool talking to Prince Gong Fujin, and when he saw Prince Gong coming in, he quickly stood up and nodded to Prince Gong, "Auntie." ”

He didn't need to be called by the official, just the name between the relatives of the banner people, Prince Gong nodded, "You are here, sit down," turned his head and ignored Ruibao, just asked Fu Jin, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, "Is your body better today?" ”

Ruibao sat on the stool and was not angry, smiling and waiting for the two to talk, in the end, it was Guarjia who felt sorry for his nephew, and led the topic to Ruibao, "Ruibao has been waiting here for a while, saying that he will wait for you to come back to talk." ”

Sure enough, he didn't come to visit his aunt, but to do something else with this excuse, Prince Gong was displeased, his face was unwavering, and he took the tea in the maid's hand, "What's the matter?" Go ahead. (To be continued.) )
